Chapter 429 Returning the Property to Its Original Owner

Inside the Taiji Palace.

Qin Zongyong was speechless when he saw the Eighth Prince lose so badly.

"This kid can't even beat a girl!"

The slight expectation Qin Zongyong had just raised for his grandson suddenly disappeared, and he curled his lips and felt bored.

At the beginning of the final, he still had high expectations for the Eighth Prince.

After all, he had heard that Princess Ankang had always been weak and sickly. Although her health had improved recently, she couldn't beat her own grandson.

Of course, after the game, Qin Zongyong had to admit that Princess Ankang's health had improved a bit too much.

Even other princes who practiced martial arts for many years probably didn't have the physique of Princess Ankang.

Although his grandson was unlearned and unskilled, he was still an eighth-grade warrior, but his physical strength was not as good as Princess Ankang.

"Has this kid broken his Yuanyang?"

Qin Zongyong thought of a possibility, and the veins on his forehead jumped.

In Daxing, many people are married at the age of the Eighth Prince.

In theory, even if the Yuan Yang is broken, it is not a big deal.

But Qin Zongyong once told the Eighth Prince that he must not break his Yuan Yang before he reaches the sixth level and practices true Qi.

Qin Zongyong repeatedly reminded the Eighth Prince of this matter several times, and also told him the seriousness of the matter.

The innate Yuan Yang has a great influence on the power of Qi and blood, and the power of Qi and blood is the foundation of true Qi.

If the Yuan Yang is broken too early, the future cultivation will be inferior to others.

The Qin family's skills are all in killing enemies on the battlefield. If the Eighth Prince's cultivation is not enough, these inheritances will not be touched at all.

Qin Zongyong still has a lot of feelings for this grandson.

After all, it is the only blood left in the world by his most beloved little daughter.

Thinking of his little daughter, Qin Zongyong looked at the Eighth Prince who was helped off the field and couldn't help sighing.

Qin Zongyong retracted his gaze. Contrary to his expectations, no one came to mock his grandson's defeat.

He turned his head and found that everyone else frowned slightly, and their eyes were focused on the final winner of the day, Princess Ankang.

Princess Ankang was enjoying the cheers of the crowd with Li Xuan and Yu'er at this time.

As the final winner, this was the treatment they deserved.

Not to mention that during the game, Princess Ankang conquered many spectators with her outstanding ball skills.

Zhao Feng looked at the three little ones and couldn't help but smile slightly.

When the atmosphere was almost right, he said at the right time:

"Your Highness, please follow me to receive the winning prize."

The voice spread throughout the scene, and everyone heard it clearly.

The three little ones looked at each other, their faces full of joy.

Today is a big scene of the Chongyang Banquet, I'm afraid the prize will definitely not be bad.

After all, there are so many people on the scene, Emperor Yongyuan can't seem stingy.

The applause and cheers of the audience gradually died down, and they began to wonder what the prize would be.

Then, Zhao Feng led the three children up the steps in front of the Taiji Palace.

When they came to the platform in the middle of the steps, they stopped.

Standing here, they could already see Emperor Yongyuan and Empress Wu sitting in the Taiji Palace.

As for the big guys sitting on both sides, the three children were all unfamiliar.

Only King Zheng and the others had some impression, after all, he had just presided over the sacrificial ceremony on the altar.

King Zheng looked at Princess Ankang who walked to the front of the hall and showed a kind smile, which seemed to be encouraging.

From the first impression, Li Xuan could hardly imagine that this person had the intention of rebellion.

And as he had learned before, King Zheng was quite charismatic.

At least when you first meet such a person, it is difficult to feel disgusted.

But Li Xuan understood that they would probably not be the same kind of people in the future.

"Your son greets the emperor, the emperor, and the queen."

Princess Ankang bowed.

She had not expected that this would be the scene when she met Emperor Yongyuan again.

It was not until she climbed the stairs that Princess Ankang realized that she might meet Emperor Yongyuan today.

She felt uneasy.

But when she really met her father, Princess Ankang found that she was unusually calm.

It did not stir up the waves she had expected.

"Is that all?"

Princess Ankang asked herself.

Resentment, longing, excitement...

Princess Ankang had expected many kinds of emotions, but none of them appeared.

Looking at the figure sitting in the first seat in the Taiji Palace, she did not stir up any waves in her heart.

It was like looking at a stranger.

In fact, in Princess Ankang's memory, there was no impression of Emperor Yongyuan.

She had only heard about Emperor Yongyuan from others.

Even when her mother was alive, she rarely mentioned her father.

If Emperor Yongyuan had not been wearing a dragon robe and sitting in the first seat, Princess Ankang would not have recognized this strange man.

Next, Emperor Yongyuan's voice rang out in Taiji Palace.

I don't know whether it was the blessing of cultivation or the special features of Taiji Palace, but I only heard Emperor Yongyuan's majestic voice resounding loudly above the nine heavens.

Unlike the radio amplification that Li Xuan had heard before, there was another pressure in this voice that could not be ignored, which made people feel admiration.

"Thirteenth Princess, Ankang."

"Because of winning the Cuju competition at the Chongyang Banquet."

"Give the privilege of driving the royal carriage and the palace."

"You can freely enter and exit the palace and various government offices of the court."

"The relevant people should cooperate as much as possible and must not stop them."

"A gold medal is specially awarded as a relevant certificate."

As Emperor Yongyuan's voice fell, an old eunuch with a short stake walked out of Taiji Palace, holding a jade plate and walked in front of Princess Ankang.

Looking closer, I found that this old eunuch was Wang Xi, the eunuch in charge of the lamp of Emperor Yongyuan.

Princess Ankang took the jade plate respectfully, and then replied loudly:

"Your son Ankang, thank you for the reward, father."

As soon as Princess Ankang finished speaking, the carriage that had been prepared long ago drove into the venue.

The three children looked back and saw that it was the carriage they usually sat in.

"Damn, this Emperor Yongyuan is really stingy."

Li Xuan complained in his heart.

I thought today's prize would definitely be extraordinary, but it turned out to be just this?

They usually use this carriage, so do they need Emperor Yongyuan to reward them again?

Li Xuan thought about it and could only think that Emperor Yongyuan did this to save costs.

It was because Princess Ankang had a good temper, otherwise she would have questioned on the spot:

"Hey, father!"

"Isn't this the carriage I usually sit in?"

But in such an occasion, even if Princess Ankang wanted to, she would not really ask.

Princess Ankang bowed and thanked the emperor and stood up.

Then, led by Zhao Feng, they walked towards the carriage at the bottom of the steps.

Anyway, it was good to win the game. As for the rewards, it would be fine if there were any.

It was a good experience to show up in front of so many people.

And it was worth the trip to make everyone have a deeper impression of Princess Ankang.

Li Xuan comforted himself in his heart, telling himself not to be on the same level as someone like Emperor Yongyuan.

But unlike the calm attitude of the three people, the audience was in an uproar.

This luxurious carriage, the three little ones had long been accustomed to it, but for the guests present, they had never seen it before.

The royal carriage was naturally extraordinary, so everyone had an expectation in their hearts.

But the carriage in front of them far exceeded everyone's expectations.

Its luxury could be said to be a priceless treasure.

If the parts of the carriage were dismantled and sold, I'm afraid they could all be sold at a sky-high price.

Many people present were shocked after seeing the carriage.

"Is this the carriage that Concubine Xiao used to ride?"

Many people recognized this carriage.

But no one expected that after so many years, this carriage was still preserved so well.

After Concubine Xiao lost her power, this carriage disappeared and was still kept in the palace.

But no one expected that after so many years, this carriage would return to Princess Ankang.

Li Xuan saw the nobles of Daxing in the stands exclaiming at their carriages, just like the country bumpkins.

You really don't say, in this situation, he was still quite happy.

But suddenly, Li Xuan heard someone in the stands muttering that this carriage was the carriage of Concubine Xiao, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

Li Xuan was stunned and thought of many things.

The first time they took this carriage was when they went to Qianxing Pavilion to read.

They rode in this carriage and arrived at the East Palace. They were so happy.

At that time, their life in Jingyang Palace was getting better little by little, and Li Xuan's strength was also changing with each passing day.

Everything was full of hope.

But Li Xuan didn't expect that the carriage arranged by Emperor Yongyuan for them actually belonged to Concubine Xiao.

Li Xuan looked back in the direction of Taiji Palace.

He saw that Emperor Yongyuan was still looking at this side with a serious expression.

"It seems that he didn't lie to me..."

Li Xuan sighed, but when he looked up at Emperor Yongyuan, he was disdainful again.

"But so what? He can't even protect his beloved woman. He is a coward even if he becomes an emperor!"

At this time, Princess Ankang found that Li Xuan had stopped and turned back to call:

"Ah Xuan, what's wrong?"

Li Xuan turned his head and meowed at Princess Ankang, and then rushed into Princess Ankang's arms.

Princess Ankang subconsciously hugged Li Xuan, her eyebrows curved up, and she said with a smile:

"You are too lazy to walk these few steps."

"Ah Xuan is really a lazy cat!"

Li Xuan meowed a few times, and kept getting into Princess Ankang's arms, making her laugh.

Princess Ankang's originally calm mood was gradually stirred up by Li Xuan.

She took two steps at a time and ran down the last few steps, and happily got into the carriage with Yu'er's support.

At this time, Princess Ankang felt a little happy about winning the game.

Princess Ankang took Li Xuan to the carriage, Yu'er followed beside the carriage, and Zhao Feng personally led the horse and let the carriage slowly circle the field.

Princess Ankang hugged Li Xuan and sat in the carriage. She wanted to leave the field in the carriage, which was also considered to have completed today's task.

It was not until now that she felt a little tired.

But at this moment, applause suddenly broke out outside.

"Congratulations, Your Highness!"

"The carriage is so beautiful!"

"Your Highness, I hope we can play Cuju together in the future!"

Various voices came from the stands, but they were all words of blessing and congratulations.

Princess Ankang lifted the curtain and showed her head.

Looking at those unfamiliar faces, but full of friendliness towards her, Princess Ankang couldn't help but feel a little warm in her heart.

"Ah Xuan, they seem to like me quite a lot."

"Is this the feeling of being supported by others that my mother said?"

Princess Ankang asked curiously.

Li Xuan waved his tail, patted the little girl's head, and then wrote on the back of her hand:

"This is far worse than being supported."

"You just impressed them with your Cuju skills today."

"But if you like this feeling, being truly supported by people..."

When Li Xuan thought of this, he remembered a figure.

"Then you still have to work hard, very hard!"

After Li Xuan finished writing, he smiled, lay in the arms of Princess Ankang, and closed his eyes comfortably.

No matter what kind of person Princess Ankang wants to be, Li Xuan will be by her side.

Li Xuan found that being a cat is very simple.

Compared with being a human in his previous life, it is simple and has no difficulty.

When he was a human, he wanted too much.

When he was a cat, he wanted only one thing.

Like now, squinting his eyes and staying with the person he likes is enough.

So, Li Xuan is now a happy little cat.

...

After the carriage circled the venue, it left.

And the time was just right, today's sun cast the last ray of afterglow.

Candles were lit at the banquet, and the audience in the stands began to return to their seats in an orderly manner, becoming guests tonight again.

The flowery eunuchs quickly dismantled the Cuju field and the stands, turning it into a huge stage.

The stage was filled with the sound of stringed instruments, light singing and dancing.

But these are obviously not the main event.

As the dinner of Chongyang Banquet officially began, exquisite delicacies began to be served.

The guests who had not eaten much proper food all day were finally able to fill their stomachs.

The formal dinner will last for an hour, after which they can move freely in the banquet venue.

Singing, dancing, games, socializing...

Follow your heart.

The restraint in the first half of Chongyang Banquet can be said to be for the freedom after the dinner.

In the carriage, the three children listened to the movement of the dinner outside, while eating the food that Li Xuan stored in the Emperor Hong Bone Ring.

"Your Highness, is it really okay for us to eat here?"

Although Yu'er asked this, the chopsticks in her hand did not stop.

She played two games today and was already very hungry.

"Shang said the food at the banquet was just average and quite restrained. We might as well eat here first. It won't take long."

Princess Ankang said, looking out the window from time to time to see if anyone was coming.

After Zhao Feng brought them to the place where the carriage was parked, he asked them to return to the banquet venue as soon as possible, and then left first.

The three children thought that they would have to follow the rules in front of others when they returned later, so they might as well eat here first.

Besides, they usually eat imperial meals, and no matter how good the food at the banquet is, it can't be better than the imperial meals.

Yu'er heard that this was the truth, so she nodded and stopped asking questions, concentrating on eating.

Li Xuan had already buried his head in the bowl of rice, so he didn't have time to care about other things.

"Hehe, it's still the best to eat secretly!"

Li Xuan's big tail slapped the ground, obviously very excited.
